...establishing an impartial review committee to hear Hartman's appeal. This latest episode makes it even less likely that responsible faculty members will agree to serve on a GSD-governed review committee. The School should recognize its failure and transfer all responsibility for the Hartman review to an neutral third party amenable both to Hartman and the administration. Perhaps then Hartman's substantive charges that personal and political considerations prompted the termination of his contract in 1970 can finally be heard by the community...
...This of course will take additional time, but a neutral appointing party would probably be able to find three or five persons to serve within a very short while. An alternate procedure that would be satisfactory to me (although less so), should the GSD Faculty not want to take any additional time to form the committee, would be to ask Professors (Samuel S.) Bowles (associate professor of Economics) and (Mark S.) Ptashne (professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology) to serve on the committee once again, and then select the other three members through random selection from the five who currently...

Although responsible to different chains of command, the commercial and armed navies often work in tandem. A visit to a neutral port by a Russian freighter, for instance, may be followed by a request for docking privileges by a trawler fleet-then by the flag-showing appearance of a rakish, gray-hulled missile cruiser...

Despite the frequent Cabinet changes, Finland has a remarkable record of political stability. Almost all the parties and their disparate factions agree on the basic issues: absolute neutrality between East and West and trade with the Common Market. Rather like Greta Garbo. Finland vants to be left alone, but it cannot afford to be. Sharing 788 miles of its 1,583-mile frontier with the Soviet Union, with whom it fought brutal losing wars in 1939-43, Finland is secure only while remaining neutral...
